Grove City College Preservation Plan

In a novel approach to campus heritage planning at small colleges, the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation will develop preservation plans for four institutions in Western Pennsylvania: Allegheny College, Geneva College, Grove City College, and Slippery Rock University. The four schools, located within 100 miles of Pittsburgh, exhibit a range of campus planning, academic buildings, and landscapes, that represent American architectural history both nationally and locally. Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation will coordinate a team that will assess 40 historic buildings on the four campuses, and create preservation plans for each school.

Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation received a Getty grant in 2005 for $185,000 to support campus heritage planning.

The purpose of this plan is to outline recommendations for the preservation, conservation and continued use of the historic landscape and buildings of Grove City College.
